2020 Breakdown: Guard Shooters

<p>The first live period of the year is upon us and we are looking to get coaches prepared. Today, we are detailing the top shooters from the guard position in the 2020 class. There are plenty of options and we have you covered.</p> <p>Nijel Pack - 6’0 PG Lawrence Central (IN) - Indy Heat EYBL 2020<br /> Tayson Parker - 6’2 PG Northwestern (IN) - N/A<br /> Sincere McMahon - 6’0 PG Crispus Attucks (IN) - EG10 2020<br /> Simon Scherry - 6’1 PG Heritage Hills (IN) - DistinXion 2020<br /> Turner Royal - 5’11 PG Bloomfield (IN) - DistinXion 2020<br /> Alex Szilagyi - 6’0 PG Fishers (IN) - Indiana Elite North 2020<br /> Noah Jager - 5’9 PG Bloomington South (IN) - DistinXion 2020<br /> Josiah Ricketts - 6’0 PG North Posey (IN) - DistinXion 2020<br /> Darin Starks - 5’10 PG Jeffersonville (IN) - N/A<br /> Noah Shook - 5’11 PG Indianapolis Homeschool Wildcats (IN) - GPP 2020 Black<br /> Avery Beaver - 6’2 SG Lafayette Jefferson (IN) - Indiana Ice 2020<br /> Andrew Luce - 5’11 PG Wapahani (IN) - Grind Premier 2020<br /> Colton Brown - 6’0 PG Covington (IN) - Indiana Ice 2020<br /> Jasen Graves - 6’0 PG Indianapolis Pike (IN) - Indiana Elite North 2020<br /> Michael Redding - 6’2 SG Fort Wayne Wayne (IN) - Team Focus 2020 Gold<br /> Jack Townsend - 6’2 SG North Daviess (IN) - Southern Illinois Select 2020</p> <p><strong>Thoughts</strong>: We have 16 names here and these are the guys we felt most comfortable with through evaluations and research.  A little bit of everything for all levels, which isn't unusual for the guard positions.  At the top of the stack, in terms of overall talent, Nijel Pack and Tayson Parker really standout. They are both similar in their pull-up game. Best off the dribble especially in transition.  </p> <p>Some of the best shooters here are guys like Simon Scherry, Darin Starks, and Jasen Graves, and Alex Szilagyi are the highest percentage shooters from last year. Scherry was over 50% from the field with more than 100 3's attempted.  He looks the part for sure as does Alex Szilagyi.  Szilagyi and Avery Beaver might look the best with their release and pure shot. Really good off of both the catch or pull-up.  </p> <p>This list of shooters does tend to lead you to see more options for NAIA and DIII programs. Most players overall go to those programs but there isn't a ton of DI talent in this class anyway but more than 10 of these guys will probably fit there.</p>
